The potency of abnormal genetic fusion in chronic myeloid leukaemia in our latest study @Nature 👉🏽 https://t.co/uwFcWUEtVB This cancer is an oddity - one of the few single genetic “hit” cancers, a short trajectory (few years) from start to diagnosis, and explosive growth.
nature.com
Nature - Explosive growth is attributed to the BCR::ABL1 gene 3–14 years before diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukaemia, highlighting the oncogenic potency of gene fusion and the slow...
